A staple in my home - finally getting around to reviewing it. Poured into my Ruination pub glass.

A - Coppery orange color, and thick looking due to lots of yeast in suspension (the recent bottles I've had have fewer floaties - it used to have lots of chunky sediment). 2-finger head, and some foam sticks around until the glass is finished. Plenty of lacing as the glass drains.

S - Big citrus hop character. Grapefruit zest. Hops dominate the nose, with a hint of malt sweetness in there.

T - Great malt backbone with a nice assertive hop bitterness that's strong but not over the top. Give this brew a few minutes out of the fridge to come up to temperature and the malt flavors balance the hops very well. Lightly sweet with grapefruit and orange flavors. Alcohols are present but the hops bite harder.

MF - Comes off to me as a bit thicker than the average IPA, which I appreciate. Good body and well carbonated.

D - I routinely knock a couple of these back in quick succession, so no complaints here. Above average for the style.

Overall I find this brew to be very well balanced with a good level of malt to stand up to the hops.

1/30/22 - deep amber, slight hazy, thin with head recedes to ca cap with lacy edges ; flavor is okay, dominated by mouthfeel; Good tangy feel; not bad, not a favorite, but certainly as good as most IPAs, exceptional mouthfeel.

I’m at an Italian restaurant and the NL Wild Card game is on. Dodgers look like shit and my first drink was a $7 Corona. Either way, here I am with this beer now and the Goo Goo Dolls are playing. How do you think I feel?

This one is an average non descript "American IPA" - it's not east, west or anything in the middle just American. Very little aroma hops on this one, smells a bit dank, malty with a little pine just for fun. Taste is malty with a slight hop bitterness on the finish, no citrus just herbal pine hops - reminds me of a Long Hammer IPA or maybe a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. This might be better on tap but regardless no love lost on this Lost Coast offering.

Drinking this in a tap room, The Goat Island Bottle Shop in Rocky Mount NC.
On tap, poured into a clear plastic cup.
Appears amber with a nice head that and lacing.
Smells piney, citrusy, bready.
Taste follows the nose, more citrusy than piney
Mouth feel is medium+ for the style, helping to balance the hops.
Good West Coast IPA that I would definitely order again.

My second one from Lost Coast but the fist one that I ever wanted to try from them.
A West Coast IPA, I love its hop flavor, dank and piney maybe is the right word. I loved its aroma and that the taste is almost to the same extent intensive. The feel is somewhat behind the former, making it feel slightly lighter than how it tastes but still is a great beer. I could get used to drinking such beers every day as standard.
“Find your happy place” it says, well, this is somewhere near there.
